The New 12 Gb SAS HUSMM32 Enterprise Performance solid-state drives (SSDs) use 3D MLC NAND flash memory technology with a 12 Gb SAS interface to provide a high-performance storage solution in either 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive form factor.

The 12 Gb SAS drives with 10 full drives writes per day (DWPD) are an excellent choice for applications demanding high write performance, such as High Performance Computing (HPC), High Definition Imaging and Video (HDIV), high data rate analytics and databases, large-scale virtualization, and video on demand content delivery.

Compared to the previous generation 12 Gb SAS SSDs, these new SSDs offer more than double the random IOPS performance and double the sequential throughput performance.

The 12 Gb SAS Enterprise Performance solid-state drive is shown in the following figure.

These drives offer very high random read & write performance (IOPS) and very high throughput (MBps) making them ideal for high-performance dynamic data caching applications. The drives also offer a 12 Gb SAS interface which means they are the best selection for multi-threaded applications.

Rigorous testing of 12Gb SAS Enterprise Performance SSDs by Lenovo through the ServerProven program ensures a high degree of storage subsystem compatibility and reliability. Providing additional peace of mind, these drives are covered under Lenovo warranty.
